60W PIR Bulkhead Light

Model: SLB88 – Black

1. General Information

These instructions should be read carefully and retained for further reference

and maintenance.

2. Safety

• Before installation or maintenance, ensure the mains supply to the luminaire

is switched off and the circuit supply fuses are removed or the circuit breaker

turned off.

• It is recommended that a qualiﬁed electrician is consulted or used for

the installation of this luminaire and install in accordance with the

current IEE wiring and Building Regulations.

• Check that the total load on the circuit including when this luminaire is ﬁtted

does not exceed the rating of the circuit cable, fuse or circuit breaker.

4. Installation Advice

• The motion detector has a number of detection zones, at various vertical

and horizontal angles as shown (see Image A).

• A moving human body needs to cross/enter one of these zones to activate

the sensor. The best all-round coverage is achieved with the unit mounted

at the optimum height of 1.8m.

• Careful positioning of the sensor will be required for optimum performance

(See Image A).

• The sensor is more sensitive to movement ACROSS its ﬁeld of vision than

to movement directly TOWARD (See Image B). Therefore position the unit

so that the sensor looks ACROSS the likely approach path.

• Avoid positioning the sensor where there are any sources of heat in the

detection area (extractor fans, tumble dryers etc.).

• Reﬂective surfaces (i.e. pools of water or white-painted walls) and overhanging

branches may cause false activation under extreme conditions.

• During extreme weather conditions the motion sensor may exhibit unusual

behaviour, this does not indicate a fault with the sensor. Once normal weather

conditions return, the sensor will resume normal operation.

5. Installation

5.1 Ensure the mains supply is switched off and the circuit supply fuses

are removed or the circuit breaker turned OFF.

5.2 An isolating switch should be installed to the switch the power ON

and OFF to the luminaire. This allows the unit to be easily switched OFF

for maintenance purposes.

5.3 Carefully remove the diffuser using a Philips terminal screwdriver to release

the clips located both sides of the bulkhead light (See diagram E).

5.4 Remove the connection cover by undoing the ﬁxing screw that holds

it in place (See diagram F).

5.5 Ensure the bulkhead is in an upright position with the sensor at the bottom

of the bulkhead.

5.6 Mark the position of the mounting holes on the wall using the wall plate

as a template and drill the holes ensuring not to infringe with any gas/water

pipes or electrical cables that may be hidden below the surface. Insert the

rawl plugs into the holes.

5.7 Pierce the pre-installed grommet and pass through the 230V AC 50Hz

mains supply cable ensuring that the IP rating of the ﬁtting is maintained

(silicon sealant may be used).

5.8 Secure the back plate to the wall using the correct mounting screws

for the rawl plugs installed. Do not overtighten the screws as this could

damage the wall plate.

5.9 Connect the 230V AC 50Hz mains supply cable to the terminal block

ensuring that all bare conductors are sleeved and that correct polarity

is observed (See section 6. Connection Diagram).

5.10 Re-attach the connection cover and secure using the ﬁxing screw

previously removed in step 5.4.

5.11 Install the light bulb (not supplied).

5.12 Fit the diffuser back onto the main body of the unit, ensuring it clicks

ﬁrmly into place.

7. Operation & Testing

Walk Test Procedure

• The adjustment knobs located beneath the sensor head (see diagram “C”)

are factory set to “Walk Test Mode” i.e. LUX set to the ‘Sun’ symbol and the

TIME set to the minimum.

• The sensor will rotate from left to right. Adjust the sensor head to the desired

direction for best coverage.

• Turn the power to the unit ON. The lamp will illuminate for approximately

1 to 2 minutes. This indicates the unit is wired correctly and the unit is in

Test Mode. Try to remain outside the detection area during the warm-up period.

Test Mode

• The lamp will now illuminate for approximately 5 seconds every time movement

is detected.

• Walk across the detection area approximately 5 metres from the unit.

Each time you are detected the lamp will illuminate. Now stand still until

the lamp extinguishes (this should take approx. 2 seconds).

• Start moving again, when you are detected again the lamp will illuminate.

• Repeat the above, walking at various angles and distances to the unit.

This will help you to establish the detection pattern.

Setting up for Automatic Operation

• When the walk tests are complete, the unit can be set up for

automatic operation.

• The TIME setting controls how long the unit remains illuminated following

activation, and after all motion ceases (See diagram “C”).

• The minimum time (fully anti-clockwise) is approx. 5 seconds, whilst the

maximum time (fully clockwise) is approx. 5 minutes. Set the control to the

desired setting between these limits.

• The LUX control determines the level of darkness required for the unit to start

operating. The setting is best achieved by the procedure below (See diagram “C”.

The LUX adjustment knob is indicated by the ‘Moon’ and ‘Sun’ symbols);

1. Set the LUX control knob fully clockwise.

2. When the ambient light level reaches the level of darkness at which you wish

the lamp to become operative (i.e. at dusk) SLOWLY rotate the control in an

anti-clockwise direction until a point is reached where the lamp illuminates.

3. Leave the control set at this point.

• At this position the unit should become operative at approximately the same

level of darkness each evening.

• Observe the operation of the unit. If the unit is starting to operate too early

(i.e. when it is quite light) adjust the control slightly anti-clockwise.

If the unit starts to operate too late (i.e. when it is very dark). Adjust the

control slightly clockwise.

• Continue to adjust until the unit operates as desired.

Masking the Sensor Lens

• To reduce the sensor coverage, preventing detection in unwanted areas, mask

the sensor lens using electricians tape or something similar (see diagram D).

• The top section of the lens covers long range detection, the bottom covers

short range. Similarly the left and right lens sections cover the left and right

detection areas respectively.

8.Troubleshooting

Problem

• Lamp stays ON all

the time at night

• The PIR sensor

keeps activating

for no reason/

at random

• The PIR sensor will

not operate

at night

• The unit activates

during the daytime

• The PIR sensor will

not operate at all

Solution

The unit may be suffering from false activation. Cover

the sensor lens completely with a thick cloth. This will

prevent the sensor from ‘seeing’ anything. If the unit now

switches off after the set time duration and does not

re-activate, this indicates that the problem was caused

by false activation. The problem may be solved by slightly

adjusting the direction/angle of the sensor head

(See section 7. Operation & Testing).

Occasionally, winds may activate the sensor. Sometimes

passages between buildings etc. can cause a ‘wind

tunnel’ effect. Ensure the unit is not positioned so as to

allow detection of cars/people using public thoroughfares

adjacent to your property.

The level of the ambient light in the area may be too

bright to allow operation at the current LUX setting.

During the hours of darkness, adjust the LUX control

slowly clockwise until the lamp illuminates (See section

7.Operation & Testing).

The level of ambient light in the area may be too dark for the

current LUX setting. During daylight, adjust the LUX control

slightly anti-clockwise. When the lamp load extinguishes,

enter the detection area. If the PIR still activates, the setting

is still too high. Repeat the above procedure until the PIR

does not activate when you enter the detection area.

Refer to previous section for more details.

Check that the power is switched ON at the circuit

breaker/internal wall switch.

Turn OFF the power to the unit and check the wiring

connections as per the diagram (See section 6.

Connection Diagram). Ensure no connections are loose.

Check the lamp. If the lamp has failed, replace. Ensure

that the lamp is seated correctly in the lamp holder.

• The PIR sensor

coverage is

poor/sporadic

• The detection

range varies from

day to day

The unit may be poorly located (See section 4. Installation

Advice) and may need to be moved.

PIR sensors are inﬂuenced by climatic conditions.

The colder the ambient temperature, the more effective

the sensor will be. You may need to make seasonal

adjustments to the sensor head position to ensure

trouble-free operation all year round.
